Hanging with History
The first season focuses on the origins of the Industrial Revolution or the Great Enrichment, we go deep into history to gain enough background knowledge to actually understand the various theories of the origins of the Great Enrichment. Eventually we learn that we also need to know how the miracle was consolidated, as the many other close approaches to the Industrial Revolution failed.A kwirky style, but intellectually ambitious with the goal of understanding history well enough to understand the miracle that happened that one time. It's gonna be a long series.

The English Civil War seems to be over, the king is dead. We chopped the bloody man’s head off. But Charles II shows up in Scotland under the thumb of the Covenanters. It really is a self-perpetuating autocracy.
The Irish Civil War has been going on since 1641 and it is time to put an end to it. When you have a big job to do, two big jobs, who do you get to do it? You guessed it, Oliver Cromwell.
